Shashwat Bhakti Yog Shivir (SBYS) 2024

A Landmark Event in Spiritual Awakening

The Saswat Bhakti Yog Shivir (SBYS) stands as a milestone event, marking the successful completion of a rigorous year-long initiative known as the Propagation of Eternal Wisdom (PEW). This initiative was instrumental in spreading awareness about the wisdom of the Upanishads and its practical application in daily life.

Over the course of one year, pravachans (spiritual discourses) spanning seven days each were conducted across various districts in Odisha, with an ambitious vision for national and global expansion in the future.

A Gathering of Seekers

Spiritual aspirants interested in Vedic wisdom and the teachings of the Upanishads gathered at the venue, where Pujaniya Raseshwari Devi Ji’s enlightening discourses were projected on a large LED display for one to two hours daily. The week-long event concluded with a one-on-one Zoom call with the revered spiritual leader, fostering an intimate and personal connection among participants.

A Transformative Experience

Those seeking a simple and honest life, guided by a genuine saint, were naturally drawn to visit the ashram and embrace the principles expounded during the pravachans.

The SBYS event, held from March 22nd to 24th, 2024, marked a new beginning for these devotees as they embarked on a journey of Sattvic living.

The retreat emphasized:

✔️ A nourishing Sattvic diet (low-spice, low-calorie meals)

✔️ Deep meditation and silence

✔️ A structured routine incorporating rigorous Sadhana (devotional practices)

Participants experienced a visible transformation, reporting reduced stress levels and a more mindful approach to communication and daily life.

Structured Schedule for Maximum Spiritual Growth

The SBYS event followed a disciplined schedule designed to facilitate spiritual immersion:

📿 Daily Aartis (prayer ceremonies): Conducted two to three times a day

🧘 Sadhana Sessions: Three intensive devotional practice sessions

🍛 Wholesome Meals: Three nutritious and balanced meals per day

🎨 Children’s Program: A special morning session integrating art and cultural activities

Recognizing the devotees’ yearning for personal interaction, Devi Ji graciously granted audiences in batches, offering her time, guidance, and affection. This divine connection led participants to revere her as "Maa" (Mother), deepening their spiritual bond.

Beyond Knowledge: A Deep Spiritual Experience

While intellectual knowledge can sometimes be forgotten, the experience of spiritual philosophy fills an inner void, offering a sense of fulfillment that seekers have long yearned for.

Beyond individual transformation, SBYS fosters a sense of belonging—a supportive spiritual community offering emotional and spiritual guidance in today’s challenging times.

The Foundation of PEW and the Transformative Power of SBYS

The PEW program serves as the theoretical foundation, providing seekers with intellectual understanding, while SBYS delivers a profound experiential transformation.

To ensure the highest quality of these programs, adept facilitators are continuously trained. While spiritual knowledge exists elsewhere, the importance of seeking guidance from a genuine Guru cannot be overstated.

At Braj Gopika Seva Mission (BGSM), our lineage traces back to Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, the fifth original Jagadguru, with Pujaniya Raseshwari Devi Ji serving as a prominent spiritual emissary of his divine teachings.

For those serious about their spiritual journey, the search ends here.

🌿 Radhe Radhe.
